Assessment: How to Go About It

As a teacher you need to assess your students to give them one more reason to learn what your spending time on teaching them. Do all assessments need to be in exam form? NO! As a student and a teacher you need to use and have variability in the classroom. When it comes to using exams you should have variety even in those like true or false, multiple choice, short answer, matching, essay, or fill in the blank. Another way to assess your students is through projects. Some examples of this are:

~research projects
~projects such as bird houses or c clamps depending on the class
~demonstrations
~presentations
~speeches

These are just a few examples and you can get very creative ans think outside the box. From this I feel students need to be assessed on rubric basis. Along with this students should have access to the rubric before the project is due so they know exactly what is expected of them. By having this rubric there is no reason for students to say they were not sure what they were to do.
